"I had used Pertzborn in the past for a number of projects, so they are always the first people I call. They looked up the information on that model and found out the warranty was still in effect (amazingly). Phil arrived within 2 hours and the replacement was done quickly and efficiently.

"Spotted the leak right away; told me my options and installed on the spot. Gave me directions on filling the tub, etc. Very pleased with the manner and professionalism of the installer. It's been awhile so I can't remember the name of the installer. Insurance paid for most of it."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact how long your water softener lasts. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet.
